Initially,
the company began experimenting and running the bitcoins with the use
of central processors of PCs and graphics processors, then ASIC chips
began to be designed. In 2013, the company managed to develop a chip on 55-nanometer technology and establish its production under its own brand. Starting capital was 110 thousand dollars of own funds. Resources for subsequent growth ensured a rapid rise in the cost of
bitcoin, including a jump in the rate from $ 100 to $ 1,200 in November
2013.

In
2014, the company developed mining on its own equipment in Finland,
Iceland and Georgia, becoming one of the first "industrial" miners. At
the beginning of June 2014, the capacity of the pool, in which the
share of ASIC-chips Bitfury was about 45%, for some time exceeded 51% of
the total processing power of the entire bitcoin-network, which made
possible a "double expenditure". To reduce the risk of network centralization, the company has removed part of its servers from ghash.io pool. As of 2017, Bitfury controls about 9.5% of the Bitcoin network's processing capacity.

In
2014-2015, the company raised 3 rounds of investments by $ 20 million,
which was in the middle of 2015 half of the world's investment in
Bitcoin infrastructure.

In late January
2017, the company announced the entry into the Chinese market and the
establishment of a joint venture with Credit China Fintech Holdings.The tasks of the new company are the popularization of the technology of blockade and the sale of Bitfury equipment in China.
